Dr Sahil's Advanced Physiotherapy Clinic ( Siddhachal Vasant Vihar)

Dahi Handi: The 3 movement precautions every Govinda needs tomorrow. Thousands will be part of human pyramids across Thane tomorrow. Every year, the acute injuries that land in our clinic the next morning shoulder dislocations, lumbar strains, ankle twists, and knee hyperextensions trace back to one issue: sudden maximum load on cold, unprepared joints. If you or someone in your family is climbing tomorrow, ensure these three steps: 1. Active warm-up (5–7 mins): Cold, stiff muscles absorb shock poorly. Light jogging, calf pumps, and dynamic hip circles prepare tissues before taking the weight of three or four levels above you. 2. Wrist and ankle preparation: Base and middle tiers take massive axial loading through extended wrists and plantar-flexed ankles. Mobilize them beforehand and consider supportive taping if there is any history of a sprain. 3. Controlled fall mechanics: If a tier breaks, never land with locked knees or outstretched arms. Tuck the chin to protect the cervical spine, soften the knees to absorb force, and roll to disperse impact. Enjoy the festival with full energy, but protect the spine and joints. If an ankle twists, a knee swells within hours, or acute back spasms lock up, avoid deep massage or forcing the joint—get it assessed early.
